Today marks the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, when women won the right to vote. It’s not exactly been an easy climb since then, but it is a centennial we must acknowledge. So Cultural HERstorian Amy Simon, the woman behind the play She’s History: The Most Dangerous Women in America, Then & Now” joins me to regale us with some fabulous female stories about the women who came before us.
